Description

In QGIS 3.3.0-master it seems impossible to change the user interface language.

My system locale is Italian (Windows 7 64 bit).

Checking "Override system locale" checkbox and setting "American English" (or any other language) in "User Interface Language" dropdown menu and then restarting QGIS, the user interface is always in Italian language.

Also tested with a new profile.

The bug doen't occur in QGIS 3.2.2 on the same system.

On linux I'm seeing an opposite thing: my locale is Lithuanian, but QGIS always shows English UI.
I've tried asking to override system locale in Settings->Options where QGIS correctly indicates, that my locale is Lithuanian, but UI stays English even after restart of QGIS.
(Worked correctly on master till ~this Monday)
